G4U (Ghost for Unix) is exactly what you need.

It is a BSD based boot disc.

Try remastersys


I never used it, but it seems to do the job.

Thank you for your reply John.  However, I think you might have thought I meant 
copying data.

 

In a typical setup with a complete clean hardrive (nothing installed) I would 
first install the operating system, in this case UBUNTU 9.04.  I then go the 
appropriate site to copy all the links and associated programs for USRP to work 
this can take up to 1 hour usually with problems.  Once everything is running 
well I want to copy the total image of this hard drive on to a DVD.  The DVD 
can then be used to install the operating system plus all associations on 
another clean hardrive.  Therefore,  being completely independent of the 
internet to install USRP on a new PC.

 

Hope this makes sense.

 

Frank

[Discuss-gnuradio] Driver for USRP1

2009-06-16 Thread Frank Rawlins

 
I wonder if anyone can help.  I use USRP1 mainly for RA with UBUNTU 9.04, what 
I would like is a program to create an image of the whole hard drive on a DVD.  
Therefore, if the PC or hard drive fails I can run the DVD on the same or 
different computer installing all associations automatically to drive the USRP. 
   Keeping UBUNTU at 9.04 forever and all associations would not be a problem 
for me as long as everthing is stored on DVDs.  Anyone know of such a program? 
 
Thanks,
 
Frank Rawlins
